Wuyue clutched her hair, deep in thought. Just then, the person beside her let out a soft hum and slowly woke up.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Two people who have already reached the most intimate stage of their relationship find themselves in a subtly awkward atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, Wuyue tentatively asked, "You're awake? How are you feeling? Did you sleep well last night?"
No way! What a load of rubbish! How could I possibly sleep well! Why did I even ask such a stupid question? I'm so stupid!
Having just finished speaking, Wuyue fell into a state of self-loathing. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the other person.
"Yes, I'm fine." Saori shook her head understandingly and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Mother should have it ready. I'll go get it..." As she spoke, she stood up.
……
"Wait, I'll go instead." The other person was clearly not feeling well, and even if Wuyue were an idiot, she would know that she should step forward. "You should rest for a while. Hmm, change your clothes too."
"Okay." Saori didn't insist any further. She just looked at her clothes, and two blushes bloomed on her cheeks.
……
……
I straightened my clothes and stepped out of the room.
In the front hall, Mugetsu saw Hinata Reiko placing two bowls of rice porridge on the table.
"Mr. Wuyue is awake?" The future mother-in-law still had her eyes half-closed, but the smile on her face was even wider than yesterday. "I thought you would sleep in late. Young people are so lucky."
"Ahem." After coughing awkwardly twice, Wuyue stiffly changed the subject, saying, "I'm sorry for bothering you yesterday."
"Disturbing you? Not at all." Reiko Hyuga shook her head slightly and smiled, "Although you two caused quite a commotion yesterday, Saori's father and I are experienced people, so it's alright. But speaking of which, how was the ingredient? It was quite good, wasn't it?"
Make your choice, dear host.
First, that's great! Anything else?
Second, I want to eat with you!
Third, I'm not coming anymore, I'm not coming anymore, my chrysanthemum can't take it!
Wow, another crazy move!
What the hell is this about wanting to eat with her? Playing mother-daughter flower game? You're a total pervert! And that chrysanthemum thing, people will definitely misunderstand if they find out!
Wuyue's entire face had turned black as she struggled to speak, "Very, very good! Is there anything else?"
207 A startling request
When Mugetsu and Saori emerged from the Hyuga family's residence, it was nearly noon.
Unable to bear Hinata Reiko's enthusiasm, Mugetsu didn't even consider staying for lunch and hurriedly took his leave.
Even so, his ninja tool pouch was still stuffed with a large bag of unknown herbs. Yes, the kind that was originally in his soup, which he then drank in one gulp.
Although he had developed a near-psychological aversion to these things and probably would never touch them again, he couldn't refuse the system's mission. He could only accept them for now and deal with them later.
Pulling herself back to reality, Wuyue turned her gaze to the girl beside her and whispered, "Saori. Is your body really capable?"
Considering his rough behavior last night, and worried that the other person might have suffered some hidden injuries or aftereffects, he planned to let the other person rest at home for a few days and simply give up on this mission.
Saori strongly opposed this, even saying things like, "If you stop me, don't get close to me in the future," so Mugetsu had no choice but to give up.
"You've asked that seven times already," the girl retorted expressionlessly. "My body isn't as fragile as you think."
"Alright." Wuyue sighed and said, "When we leave the village later, if you really can't keep up with the group because of your physical condition, tell me. I'll carry you."
"No." Saori shook her head, resolutely refusing. "It's too embarrassing."
"Wow, that's a pretty straightforward answer." Wuyue smiled helplessly, about to say something more, when two familiar faces suddenly appeared not far ahead. "Senior, Mikoto-senpai..."
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto, Mugetsu still felt quite awkward. After all, she had severely injured her husband.
Although it was because the other party attacked Yui first, and she brought it upon herself, it had nothing to do with Uchiha Mikoto, yet she was still affected. Speaking of which, Mugetsu thought that the aunt and niece wouldn't have any contact for a while... @m1
Upon hearing Mugetsu's voice, Yui immediately turned around to look at the two people approaching. "Mugetsu-kun, Saori. Were you two really together last night?"
"Uh, yes." Facing this senior, Wuyue had no intention of hiding anything. Nor was there any need to.
Saori, however, clearly didn't see it that way, explaining, "Although he's staying at my house, he sleeps in the guest room." Subconsciously, she felt she was ultimately the later arrival compared to Yui. Yet, she had been the first to have relations with Muzuki. This was obviously illogical.
"Is that so?" Yui narrowed her eyes, her scarlet pupils staring silently at Saori for a while before saying, "Rina is busy preparing rations for the next few days, so she might arrive a little later."
"Okay, I understand."
Mugetsu could probably understand Saori's thoughts, so he didn't refute them. But he felt that Yui, with her intelligence, must have already figured something out. She just didn't point it out because Uchiha Mikoto was present.
"We meet again, Muyue-kun." After the conversation ended, a certain mature and married woman greeted them, "My husband, you've really taken good care of him."
Wow, did you have to be so blunt?! How embarrassing!
Wuyue subconsciously scratched her hair and said stiffly, "Um, sorry. I might have been a little too rough."
"No, I'm not blaming you." Uchiha Mikoto smiled and said, "I know he did something very wrong, and it's right that you taught him a lesson... I just hope that for Yui's sake, you won't hold it against him anymore, okay?"
Her tone was sincere, making Wuyue even more embarrassed. However, when his gaze turned to Uchiha Mikoto's profile, the obvious bruises caught his eye, greatly marring her dignified and beautiful face.
"Don't worry, Aunt."
Wuyue remained silent, stunned. Yui, being quite sensible, spoke up: "As long as that man doesn't cause trouble, Wuyue-kun won't go looking for trouble with him."
"Thank you very much then." Uchiha Mikoto bowed deeply to Mugetsu. "I still have children to take care of at home, so I'll take my leave now. Yui, I'll come to see you when I have time."
"Okay." Yui nodded lightly and said, "Please take care."
Only after Mikoto Uchiha's figure gradually disappeared did Mugetsu come back to her senses. "That, your aunt's face..."
“Although she said she fell accidentally, that’s obviously an excuse.” Yui’s eyes showed a hint of indignation as she said calmly, “I’m afraid that man already knows that your aunt informed you, so he’s transferring his anger to you.”
"This guy is truly hopeless; he can even lay a hand on his own wife." Wu Yue's tone carried a hint of anger. Just from this point alone, this is beyond what a man should do. It's utterly despicable!
"I want to help her."
Yui was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on Mugetsu. "Mugetsu-kun, go and snatch my aunt back! With your abilities, you should be able to do it, right?"
208 Agreement
What? !
Muzuki was stunned, and Saori was just as stunned. They even wondered if they were hallucinating.
"Um, senior..." After a long while, Wuyue finally came to her senses and carefully chose her tone to ask, "What did you mean by 'take it back'? How did you mean by taking it back?"
"Literally," Yui said without any change in her tone, "Using your best skill at picking up girls, poach her from Fugaku Uchiha. Steal her away."
Puff, puff.
Mugetsu and Saori both spat out their drinks at the same time, staring at the girl opposite them with incredulous looks.
"Yui, you're kidding, right?"
"That's impossible, senior. It's totally impossible!"
"I'm not joking." Yui's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "I think you can do it, Muzuki-kun. I believe in your abilities."
"This isn't about ability at all!" Wuyue said with a wry smile, scratching her head. "Mikoto-senpai is your aunt, right? And she's a married woman with children! You want me to take her away? That's just too immoral!"
"So, seeing her live such an unhappy life is morally right?" Yui asked calmly. "Or perhaps, does Muzuki-kun have a kind of mental fastidiousness and dislike married women? Last time he clearly said that he liked other men's wives the most."
He likes other people's wives the most?!
Saori's gaze towards Mugetsu changed instantly, revealing a mixture of wariness and unfamiliarity!
"Wow! That was a joke, a joke!" Wuyue raised her head and vehemently retorted, "Although I don't have any particular prejudice against married women, I don't have any special fetishes either!"
"Since there's no discrimination, then say yes." This time, Yui didn't stop there as usual. She was very persistent and wouldn't give in.
As they talked, they arrived at the pre-arranged meeting point. At the same time, a strange sound echoed in Wuyue's mind.
Make your choice, dear host.
First, he smiled and agreed, promising to win over Uchiha Mikoto within two months.
Second, cruelly refuse, and state your intention to defeat Uchiha Fugaku within two months.
What the hell is this two-option choice? In the end, isn't there still only one option?! It's so damn awkward.
Wu Yue's lips twitched slightly, she exhaled a breath of stale air, and forced a smile, saying, "Okay, alright. I understand. However, it may take some time."
"You actually agreed?!" Saori gasped. She simply couldn't accept this! It was completely beyond her comprehension!
I didn't want to either! I was forced into it! I was desperate... Well, to be honest, I wasn't desperate.
Conquering someone else's wife is certainly a new kind of experiment. Moreover, unlike when facing Minato Namikaze, Mugetsu feels no guilt whatsoever towards scum like Fugaku Uchiha.
No, no! Even if the other woman's husband is scum, I shouldn't have such thoughts! Damn it, I've been corrupted by this damn system.
Thinking of this, Wuyue felt that her future was shrouded in darkness, and she could not see any light called "hope".
Just as he was wallowing in self-pity, Yui asked again, "How long will it take?"
"About two months," Wuyue replied with a sigh of relief. "I guarantee I'll finish the guide within two months."
"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with twenty days of cultivation and two years of dragon growth cycle."
"What do you mean, two months? What are you talking about?"
The notification sound in her mind and a familiar female voice rang out simultaneously, instantly stunning Wuyue. "Miss... good morning."
"What do you mean 'early'? It's already this late."
The newcomer was none other than Kushina, her striking red hair a distinctive feature. She wore a familiar set of loungewear, yet it couldn't conceal her energetic and youthful spirit. "Hey, hey, don't change the subject. What were you saying about two months?"
"Hmm...we were saying that the Ninja World War might end in about two months."
Even with all her thick skin, Wuyue didn't dare speak the truth in front of this young lady. She gestured to the two girls beside her to be quiet, or someone might really die!
"Is that so? I feel like this isn't what you're talking about." Kushina raised an eyebrow and said, "Never mind. Hmm, I didn't have time to prepare bento boxes for you this time because I was in a rush."
"Oh, it's okay."
"It doesn't need to be that complicated."
"No need."
Muzuki, Saori, and even Yui all spoke at the same time, as if in perfect unison.
"You guys seem to have a very low opinion of my bento?" Kushina was always particularly perceptive in this regard, and her delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.
